This bike still has keihin fuel system? Consider the throttlebody setup, Id back the screw off until the throttle is near closed, and as the bike is cranking move the throttle is very small increments in an attempt to match the appropriate amount of air fuel. Injector can pump fuel into the engine while cranking causing it to flood a...

Yes, Ive done 2 sets of wheels over the past few years with consistent results. You would have to anodize things a few times to understand what to expect from the process, because any idea that aluminum or cast CANT be anodized is based on the results coming out blotchy or inconsistent, and basically just not what people imagined it...

redcouch1212 Started a new thread Paint Frame Powdercoat vs Paint KTM

What is the consensus on the durability of painting your steel frame with powdercoat versus an automotive paint? Not concerned about flaking or prep related issues, but more like roost from the front tire etc. Powdercoat seems to go on very thick, and unsightly, but is there a better alternative with automotive paint and a durable clear coat?

redcouch1212 Added a reply to Frame Rust Restoration California

12/19/2020 5:14pm
So no help here, all those looking for answers related to original question, not a whole lot of options out here in California, closer to non. Most places that appear could aid in cleaning and correcting the rust refuse to accept "motorcycle frames" because of costs and contamination to their equipment. May take some serious searching(now I think the best...

Hello, for those in SoCal how many places offer services to clean motorcycle frames for restoration or preparing to repaint? Looking to clean the dirt out inside of a a steel KTM frame so I can then correct the surface rust inside and proceed with paint/paint prep.

Ah there we go, thanks! I googled PC and Megacycle, no doubt they manufacture the cams, not sure if they still do as that's not confirmed. They also apparently will not sell PC cams directly, cutting out the middleman. Ill have to see if they can at least help me with some info on a cam that is what I...

They don't make their cams... Then who does? Its not that I don't believe you, as a lot of their stuff they make it a little too obvious who they source from, but it would actually help me answer my question if you could point out who makes their camshafts. Thanks.

Been in contact with PC regarding engine building, but who ever Im dealing with is like pulling teeth to get any decent information out of(like talking to a service advisor instead of a technician). So let me ask some people who have some experience. What do the Pro Circuit camshafts do for my engine(2013)? My current focus is to move...

Nice to see some recent topics on rebuilding these Kawasakis. I am also in the long process of restoring an 04, and trying to race it at the same time. I wish I could help you out with the PC parts, but that stuff is stupid hard to find. Ive been looking up and down for over a year now...
